I am a catholic man and my girlfriend is a muslim. We both come from south India. We both are doctors pursuing our residency training in two different parts of India. We have been seeing each other for about four years now. Both our families do not agree with us getting married. Lately there has been a lot of threats coming from both sides.
We both are very liberal in our ideologies,i believe its this profession that has a greater part to do in it. Yes there is a pressure of conversion from both the parties but we find it rather silly. Both of us love and respect each others faith. We do not intend to convert. I would love to get the opinion of the more experienced bloggers on this issue. -Chandler

Don't Go to Gurudwara, Jesus Becomes Angry with You
Chandler,
We are aligned with you that we found this conversion business silly. You are educated and thinker. You have also a responsibility in this society to do right things and do not succumb to irrational pressure from intolerants. We hope you both stay firm and marry without conversion. Further, we hope you raise children in BOTH faiths.
We feel you are on a right track for not any one converting. Go get married by the Special Marriage Act 1954. Show it to India that it is time to give up old religious superstitions and intolerance. Now it is time to live and let other live the way they want to. Let us know what else you wish to know.
In case if she asks you to convert to please her parents, remind her that why she did not dated a true Muslim guy who is performing namaz five times a day in her local mosque? Is she ready to be a submissive Muslim wife? She did not fall in love with you by chance but by design. She knows it very well that there is no way she could be a good “Muslim wife” and fulfill Muslim husband’s demands.
Tell your church that you are not going to fake-convert someone to please the church. Tell your and her parents that now you live in a new world and they have to adapt to new changes.
Please keep us posted.
what i do not understand is her parents who do not remember their islam ..just when it comes to marraige with nonmuslim guy
where is the islamic upbringing ..before that
where is the islamic eduaction ..before that
no need to be submissive muslim to feel that you are muslim
no need cz in islamic world ..even when you are secular you are proud of your islamic identity
and it is shameful to get relation even with muslim guy out of marraige rather than nonmuslim
but this farce is only in india ( mainly india )
and when he say that it is silly i think he is a lier cz if he dose not care about religion this much means he dose not care about converting to islam this much ..but he is a lier
